Error Message

From Job log:
Case restore failure: 0.2.1.6/0.6.51.1000168140/Example Case/Example Case
com.teneo.esa.esacase.CaseManagerException: [#201009] Configured backup directory path "caseBackups" must be absolute when sharing the directory
com.teneo.esa.esacase.CaseManagerImpl.getBackupRootDirectory(CaseManagerImpl.java:484)

Cause

This is caused by the particular node being restored to not having the esa.case.backupDir set to a network path.  As the esa.case.backupDir is a private property, it may not have been updated on all the nodes.

Resolution

1. Ensure a network path where the backups are to be placed is reachable from all nodes using the FireDaemon account.
2. Set esa.case.backupDir to the network path specified in step 1 on all nodes.

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to restore a case to a node in a Distributed Architecture (DA) it will fail with the error message below. It may fail on some nodes or on all of them (including the cluster master).
